Stock Options – Initial grant of stock options on 50,000 shares of common stock at market price on date of grant, half (25,000) vesting immediately with the remainder vesting pro rata over three years. In addition, a grant of stock options on 25,000 shares of common stock during 2006 after approval of the amended stock option plan at the then market price vesting over three years from that date. You will be eligible for regular annual stock option grants beginning in 2007, consistent with grants to other senior executive officers.

Location – Baltimore or other mutually agreed upon location where the company has a significant number of employees.

Employment at Will – You will be an employee-at-will. However, if your employment is terminated within three years of the Effective Date either (1) without Cause or for Good Reason, in either case on or within two years after a Change in Control, or (2) in anticipation of a Change in Control, you will receive an immediate, lump sum cash payment of all amounts that would have been paid to you by the company had you been employed through the third anniversary of the Effective Date, including bonuses at the greater of target (1 times your Base Salary at the time of termination) or the highest actual bonus you earned before termination, and vesting of all stock options and restricted stock (to the extent that they do not otherwise vest on a Change In Control). For this purpose, Cause, Good Reason and Change in Control are defined as provided in the company’s employment agreements with its senior executive officers. After three years of employment, you will be entitled to the Change in Control benefits applicable to our senior executive officers.

We are very enthusiastic about the potential of you joining FTI in a role which we feel will be extremely important to our long term growth. In the position of Executive Vice President, Chief Risk Officer, you will report directly to me, have a seat on the Executive Committee, and be the primary responsible executive for oversight of our legal and risk management activities.

I look forward to discussing this opportunity in detail with you and hope that we can develop a meeting of the minds so that you can quickly join the FTI team.

Yours truly,

/s/ Jack Dunn
